We are a local group of Christians in the sciences living in or near Boston, MA. If you are new to the area or interested in exploring questions of science and faith, please check out our group calendar to learn about upcoming events and meetups. We usually host a talk each month near MIT.

You can also get involved by emailing our group administrator, Randy Isaac: randy@asa3.org

We look forward to meeting you!

There will be a special Boston chapter meeting on Friday, April 8 from 6:30 pm to 9 pm at the Ken Olsen Science Center at Gordon College in Wenham, MA. This evening is a farewell tribute to Randy Isaac, now Executive Director Emeritus as well as an introduction to newly appointed Executive Director Leslie Wickman. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to meet and hear from the ASA Executive Council who will be in Boston for their annual council meeting.

The plan is to host a cheese/crackers/fruit reception from 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm, a series of speeches in the auditorium from 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm, and a dessert reception from 8:15 pm to 9 pm following the meeting. Our intention is to live stream the meeting portion from 7:15 to 8:15pm EDT, recording it for later viewing as well.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for you to send your farewell wishes to Randy for his 11 years of exemplary and servant leadership. In addition, you'll have a chance to meet and greet Leslie Wickman as she begins her role as ASA's next executive director. You'll hear from both Randy and Leslie; sharing their views of what they consider to be the key rewards and challenges in integrating faith and science in today's society.

Please RSVP your attendance at this link by Monday, April 4 so we can plan accordingly.
